Hi! I am a children’s author, journalist, editor and translator. My two middle-grade novels, Clutch and The Other Side, received Skipping Stones Honor Awards and nominations for Forest of Reading, among other honors. Clutch was also a 2017 Best Book from Kirkus Reviews and a finalist for the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People. I also write nonfiction for kids: What If Soldiers Fought with Pillows? (also a Skipping Stones Honor Award recipient), I Can’t Do What?, Secret Schools, The Prisoner and the Writer, and the upcoming Becoming Bionic. I studied communications at Concordia University and then journalism at New York University. After 15 years in journalism, I immersed myself in the children’s literature scene, working at Mabel’s Fables Bookstore and volunteering with the Canadian Society of Children’s Authors, Illustrators and Performers (CANSCAIP). A few years later, my short story, The Boys of Summer, won the 17th Annual Writing for Children Competition held by CANSCAIP and The Writers’ Union of Canada. That story turned into my debut, Clutch. Born and raised in Montreal, I live in Toronto with my husband, two teenagers and dog.
